Rock Band: Solo Instruments Available ASAP
For those looking forward to Harmonix's upcoming rock n' roll Guitar Hero-like title, Rock Band, but don't want to buy the $169.99 bundle, we have some good news.
The game itself, Rock Band, will be available for purchase alone, along with the instruments as well.
This news comes directly from an interview with Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos. He assures that even though the complete bundle is the first Rock Band package available for purchase upon launch, gamers won't have to wait long for the individual instrument bundles to be churned out. His statement:
"We are working diligently to get individual instruments into the channel as soon as humanly possible and we have a huge effort in place to make this happen.Good to see that Harmonix is working on an affordable method of getting the good game experience for everyone. And if you already own Guitar Hero, you may not even need to buy a new one, unless you want it.
Harmonix supports open platform standards in our game design, so people will most likely be able to use their existing peripherals with Rock Band. Furthermore, we know that many, many friends are planning to purchase a Rock Band bundle together, along with extra copies of the software, and then share the individual instruments among them."

Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe Might Come to the PLAYSTATION Network
Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe is one of the most anticipated European Xbox Live Arcade titles, soon coming the the US Live Arcade. Hints, however, suggest that a Sony PlayStation 3 version via the PlayStation Network could be in the works.
"That could be on the cards," answers John Phillips of Bitmap Brothers as gaming site CVG when inquired about a PLAYSTATION Network version for Speedball II. "I think [services like XBLA and PSN are] great."
Phillips adds that these services show that great games can be developed and published without having a full team. "As the cost of development is lower we will over the next few years see a great many fantastic games on these formats," he concludes.

Rumor: Sony Asking for PLAYSTATION 3 Exclusives
GamePro Online reports.
A new report published Friday by the Mercury News suggests that Sony may already be scrambling to keep third-party developers aboard the PlayStation 3, which has struggled to keep pace with the Wii and Xbox 360.
"One piece of news that came out this week was that Sony pleaded with third-party developers not to abandon its struggling [PS3] platform," wrote Dean Takahashi of the San Jose Mercury News.
"That change in attitude is a marked difference compared to the arrogance of past years," the game journalist added. "The argument is that the PS3 will show its strength as developers learn how to make games for it."
Takahashi cited "insider information" when contacted by GamePro for source clarification.
In August, Sony admitted in a report by GamePro that the PS3 can be more difficult to develop for given its propriety and complex Cell processor. Subsequently, several PS3 ports get released several weeks, if not months after an Xbox 360 counterpart. Often times the PS3 version receives significantly lower review scores than Xbox 360 versions.
Assuming Takahashi is right, it's easy to see how developers could be frustrated with the PS3 thus far. It hasn't sold well, which makes it difficult to sell games on. And development requires more money (for now at least) given the console's finicky technology.
In related news, Video Business reported earlier this month that the newly announced 40GB PS3s will be in short supply as Sony purportedly makes more money when selling higher-end models.

Ryan Payton: Why No Metal Gear Solid 4 Demo?
Matt Bruchovich of GameAlmighty caught up with Ryan Payton of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots at the E For All 2007 game conference.
Matt did a quick little Q&A with Ryan, and the first thing they shot at him was why there will be no PLAYSTATION Network demo.
Matt Butrovich: You recently said there would be no Playstation Network demo before the launch of the game, and that E For All would be the only opportunity for US gamers to try it out. Why is that?Read the rest of the interview at the link below.
Ryan Payton: Oh, that’s an easy question. The reason is because we’re showing the game off at E For All. We’re giving people basically a fifteen minute test of the game. You can get to the end of the demo in this version, but it’s not perfect. The game we’re working on right now in the studio, the retail version of the game is actually quite different. We’ve been tweeking the threat ring - when you go into alert mode, then caution mode, and then normal mode, that’s changed as well. The control scheme has changed a little bit. The menus have changed. There’s so many different things that if we put this game on the Playstation Store it would feel like a beta test. And we know that people would be breaking the game playing it over and over and over again and looking at how the AI’s not complete yet.
With that said, we want to bring the game out and let people play it in their own homes and play this demo, but we feel that it’s not a 100% representation of the retail version of the game. So as of right now there’s no plans. Could that change in the future? It could, and I know people are disappointed. But we feel it’s best for the game and for the gamer not to get an unfinished demo."

All-Pro Footbal 2K8: $20 at Best Buy
There was a time where we had the best NFL game franchise out, and that was the NFL 2K franchise. Sadly, it's gone, and now we have the All-Pro Football 2K franchise.
When NFL 2K5 went for only $19.99, the football community was stunned. Now, All-Pro Football 2K8 is now only $19.99 at Best Buy.
We are not sure if this is a price-cut or if it is in effect any place else.
I just think I might pick this up since it is at such a low price. If you're not sure about buying it, read it's reviews.

Dark Sector: Plot Revealed
You play Hayden Tenno, a covert agent who - in the midst of a dangerous mission - gets attacked and infected with a bio-weapon. The weapon in question gives Hayden powerful, inhuman abilities which he must learn to control.
This is all well and good. But the latest trailer hints at another darker story. It seems agent Tenno must die in order to fully realise his potential, and he may also have a few skeletons in the closet, as the person who can “fix” him believes that he deserves to perish.
Could this trailer have just given away the ending to the game? Could Hayden really die abandoning all hope for a sequel? We think not. But until the next slice of story pie is handed to us, we’re going to keep speculating as to what’s really going on in this twisted, disturbing world.

Devil May Cry 4: Release Date Announced
Capcom has announced at their Gamers' Day that Devil May Cry 4 will be released for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 in February 2008.
"The highly anticipated Devil May Cry 4 immerses gamers in a gothic supernatural world, where a new protagonist clashes with series mainstay Dante. As new leading man Nero players will be able to unleash incredibly powerful and stylish attacks and non-stop combos using a combination of the Devil Bringer arm and the Exceed system, both of which are new gameplay mechanics for the series. Fans of Dante won’t be disappointed as he too will be playable during the course of the game.
Set in the costal city of Fortuna, the game’s action begins when Dante bursts in on a ceremony being conducted by the Order of the Sword, an ancient sect based in the coastal city of Fortuna, which worships Sparda the devil warrior who saved mankind. As Dante begins indiscriminately slaughtering sect members Nero fears for the safety of his childhood friend Kyrie and confronts Dante in order to protect her.
With players taking control of Nero, the immense power of the Devil Bringer begins to be revealed as a fierce confrontation against Dante ensues. After an intense struggle Dante decides to leave this particular fight for another day and makes good his escape. Chasing after him Nero is suddenly stopped in his tracks as mysterious portals begin appearing throughout Fortuna spewing forth ghastly demons. What is the reason for this demonic invasion, is Dante responsible?"
